Long-Distance Movers in Napa Valley

Long-distance moves can vary significantly in cost based on factors such as distance, the weight of the items being moved, how far you are moving, and any extra services required. Generally, moving to another state from California may range from $3,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the specific needs and choices made during the move. The standard recommendation is to get at least three moving quotes. This allows you to know that you are getting a fair price on your move.

Generally, an out-of-state move includes the transportation of your belongings, loading and unloading, and basic liability coverage. Extra services like packing and unpacking, special handling for fragile or difficult-to-move items, storage solutions, and extra valuation coverage are usually considered add-ons and cost extra. The extra cost will vary depending on the moving company and the specifics of what you need.

Packing supplies play a crucial role in protecting belongings during a long-distance move. Your packers should be expertly trained, as well as making use of specialized boxes and moving blankets, wrapping up your items carefully. Your movers should use a dolly for careful loading and unloading, as well as a professional moving truck with the right padding to keep your belongings protected.

In accordance with government regulation, all moving companies must provide valuation coverage at 60 cents per pound per item. There are generally two types of valuation for a move: Limited Liability Coverage, which is the minimum required by law, and Full Value Protection, which provides more comprehensive coverage with full reimbursement, repair, or replacement for all damaged items. Not all movers offer Full Value Protection, but most do, as they realize that this is not enough coverage for many people moving.

Turner Moving & Storage complies with these regulations, offering both Limited Liability Coverage and Full Value Protection options. You can also declare your high-value belongings as Items of Extraordinary Value, which are items worth over $100 per pound per item. Be sure to speak with your dedicated moving specialist about this.

An out-of-state move can take varying amounts of time, depending on factors like distance and load size. You can expect your long-distance move to take about 3-14 days. For an especially far move, such as one over 1700 miles, you can expect it to take up to three weeks. However, this can vary quite a bit, so be sure to communicate with your movers about how long the move is expected to take.
